Bugs and enhancements
Defects, patches and new feature requests should be posted using "new ticket" button. You need to register and login to be able to post.
Please don't post zip files with source code of your program, they will be ignored. Best way to post defect is to send patch against one of examples that presents defect that you are describing.
Patches
Patches should be produced using svn diff command. If you added new files in your patch please do svn add for them before calling svn diff so they would be included in patch file.
When you create a new ticket, you have to type your email address if you want your ticket to be accepted, otherwise it is less likely that ticket will be successfully resolved.
Debea uses Cppunit library for unit tests. Most of the API behavior is covered by unit tests. If you create non trivial patch to library it is recommended to run unit tests on patched code for at least one database driver and make sure that all of them run successfully.
How to help
- Places in the source code that need improvement and are not scheduled for next release are marked with 'FIXME' comment. You can pick one and work it out.
- I am not a native speaker, so there might be grammatical or style errors in documentation and on wiki pages that need corrections. Feel free to correct them.
- Changes to debea project are announced on freshmeat site and wxWidgets mailing list. You can create links on other sites to this project or can promote it in any other way. It is still too difficult to find this project using google.
